Dink & Dunk offense is not a bad thing in Pittsburgh

[Black@Gold Forever32]

From what we are hearing out of camp so far, Haley appears to be very open-minded towards player input. Not only in terms of how plays work, but he is also very flexible in regard to terminology. As such, I have no doubt in my mind that he will listen if Ben tells him that he believes a certain aspect, such as the big play, is missing or is underutilized.

The other day I posted an article in the training camp thread about the Haley offense......Everything in the article sounds good so far.....Haley seems to make things simpler for the WR's and OL which is good......Sometimes to much thinking on the field isn't good for a player....

I got sick of arians dink and dunk offense. 2 yard screens to ward?

I can't remember which media guy reported the other day that this offense looks like one built for quick passes, dump offs, short to intermediate routes. If that's true then these guys won't have to hold blocks as long as they used too if Ben runs it the way it's intended. I'm anxious to see how much he goes back to the old Ben in this offense, holding onto the ball forever.

There's no way he changes his game, he is who he is. Now hopefully the plays are designed for shorter routes and he doesn't have a chance to scramble.

The sacks kill you. (along with injure him) I know we mostly tend to say it's ok because he makes up for it with big plays. But is that really the case? Look at the last stat in this column. Adjusted Yards per Attempt (AYPA) – A quarterback’s Yards per Attempt (YPA) minus sack yards, adjusted by a 45-yard penalty for each interception thrown. 45 yards is chosen because it is approximately equivalent to the Expected Point (EP) value of an interception. Ben's not even in the top 10. I wonder how many of his INT were when he scrambled?

Better than going deep on 3rd and 3...

I like dink and dunk and it's worked for us before.

I can even remember the last time we used this type of offensive strategy. Please enlighten me.

I got a feeling Haley's offense is going to do just fine.............

No no no, don't you know on 3rd and 3 from you're own 5 yd line you call a delayed draw? Oh wait sorry that's when you're at 3rd and 15
